Lady of Guadalupe


Only one man
    climbed the steps
on his knees.

For the rest of us,
    it was a camera-ready
Saturday.

We also carried
    our curiosity
and vague respect,

and made the modest
    effort upward to earn
la buena vista.

Yellow traffic,
    an irreligious
hovering of haze.

Why, Mother,
    is distance never
disappointing?
